"I can walk by myself. I can walk." Hong Tao's feet were almost off the ground, and it was even more uncomfortable to be dragged along like this.
"Damn it, I still have to climb a mountain..." I looked at the hill that Harrison mentioned. It was really a hill. It was not 100 meters high in total, and the slope was very gentle. According to Hong Tao's estimation, it would be easy to climb over it.
The straight-line distance to this hill is about 3 kilometers, which means you have to march with a heavy load for more than an hour, which could cost your life.
As the saying goes, Wangshan is a race to death! It took everyone an hour and a half to climb this small hillside, which seemed to be only 3 kilometers away. In fact, if Hong Tao and Miss Liu hadn't held them back, everyone would have been much faster, at least not.
After walking a few hundred meters, rest for a few minutes.
Hong Tao wasn't the worst. In the last 1 kilometer, the beautiful Miss Liu couldn't move her legs. She simply fell down in the snow and couldn't get up. Now Old Gale was in a coke, he
Driving a snowmobile, although the back seat and front of the car were occupied by equipment and venison, the front seat could still accommodate two people, so Miss Liu was almost held in Old Gale's arms, and then like
The car trembled and started running away.
When Austin in front of him stopped and announced that he had arrived at the campsite, Hong Tao almost fell to the snow and couldn't get up. Walking on mountain roads was not Hong Tao's strong point, and with the calf-deep snow, although there was
There were footprints left by the people in front of me, but it was still very strenuous to walk.
"Hey, look, there's a hot spring in front..." Irene came over and pulled Hong Tao, who was sitting on the tree trunk, to look at the other side.
"I don't want to think about it anymore. I don't even have the strength to raise my hands now. Help me quickly, this backpack is crushing me." Hong Tao sat there and could only gasp for air. He didn't even have the strength to take off the backpack.
.
"Why do I feel that you are not as strong as before? Is it related to Miss Zhou?" Irene said strange things while helping him take off his backpack.
"I'm still very strong in bed. If you don't believe me, try it at night." As soon as the pressure was removed, Hong Tao immediately came to life again, which was manifested in the fact that his broken mouth started spitting out words again.
"We'll talk about things tonight, but if you don't want to have no place to stay at night, then hurry up and set up a tent with me. You see that everyone else is busy, so you plan to be lazy?" Irene was not afraid of Hong Tao's nonsense.
The leader dragged Hong Tao up and started looking for a camping spot in the campground.
This camp is actually a clearing in the woods. The surrounding trees are relatively sparse, and it is next to a creek. It is more convenient to get water. Will the creek freeze in this weather? Not really.
, not only is it not frozen, the stream is also steaming, because not far ahead is the spring of a hot spring. The area is not very large, but the temperature is obviously quite high. The water is gurgling and bubbling, just like a mouthful of water.
Open a large pot of water that is not yet boiling.
Except for Miss Liu, everyone present was busy setting up the camp just as Erin said. Austin was wielding a long ax and cutting down a tree trunk that had fallen down. It seemed that he was preparing firewood. The most important thing here was
There is no shortage of wood. You can find big tree trunks that have fallen to the ground for various reasons everywhere. The only thing needed is strength.
Hong Tao's tent was set up in an open space among three big trees. This was Eileen's choice. It was the farthest away from everyone, and it was blocked by two tree trunks that no one could hold. The location was quite hidden. As for why he was looking for it.
Hong Tao didn't have the time to think about setting up a tent at such a location, and no one else interfered. As long as everyone was within each other's sight, there was no problem. A couple like Katie and Jim ran even further than Hong Tao, and they went out of their way to
I picked a fallen tree trunk as a cover.
After Hong Tao and Irene's small tents were set up, the bonfire in the camp was lit. At this time, Hong Tao felt a little cold. He had sweated all over during the march, and now he was blown by the mountain wind, and his whole body was soaked in sweat.
cold.
After finding a piece of wood, Hong Tao sat down on the windward side of the fire. There is a rule here. When playing with a bonfire in the wild, unless there is no wind, you must sit on the windward side, otherwise it will get all over your body and face.
The soot and ashes, if blown by a gust of wind, may burn holes in your clothes, and your eyebrows and hair will also be in danger.
At this time, most people had already set up their tents and were sitting around the fire, warming themselves up and waiting for lunch.
It was Ignatius and Austin and his son who made lunch. They used a small saw to cut off the two hind legs of a deer. After cleaning it in hot spring water, they put it on the grill and grilled it while brushing it with their homemade food.
barbecue sauce, and then took out the marinated fish and beef, and put them on the grill to heat them together. This is today’s staple food at noon. There is also a pot hanging on a small fire aside, with green beans in it.
Soup made with ham.
In addition, they also brought some food suitable for Chinese tastes such as quick-frozen dumplings, instant noodles and rice. If Boss Liu, his daughter and Hong Tao are not used to these simple barbecues, they can make some other Chinese food.
In fact, these are a bit redundant. Chinese people can eat anything. Although they are not naturally meat-eaters, when it comes to eating, these white people are completely different.
A whole morning of hiking gave everyone present an appetite. The Xia Sha Xiang pie represented by Hong Tao and Ms. Liu was even better. Two deer hind legs and a pot of soup were not wasted in the end.
All other food on the shelves was also wiped out.
To say that the food, ingredients, taste, and heat of this outdoor camping food are incomparable to the dishes in a big restaurant, and even the craftsmanship at home cannot compare. But there are two special places for this kind of food: the restaurant and the kitchen
What cannot be compared here is the freshness and tenderness.
The venison, which had been dead for more than an hour, was very tender, and Austin's barbecue sauce just covered up the fishy smell, so although the meat tasted a bit rough, it was definitely not bad.
Another main reason why I think this kind of picnic is delicious is that everyone is hungry. After a lot of physical exertion, people's appetite will definitely be whetted. Anyone who likes outdoor sports can understand this feeling. When rushing, carrying luggage, or camping
After that, they competed with each other for food.
Such a tough dish, according to Chinese tradition, Boss Liu took out a bottle of white wine from his backpack, intending to let everyone drink some, not only to warm up, but also to relieve fatigue. However, his actions were criticized by Austin and Harry
Sen stopped him because he had to hunt in the afternoon, so drinking alcohol, especially high-alcohol alcohol, was not allowed.
After the meal, everyone sat together and rearranged the hunting plan. After fully considering the suggestions of the three old hunters, Ignatius, Austin and Harrison, everyone decided to divide the hunting team into two groups.
, two groups go out to hunt, and one group stays in the camp to guard, so that they can move forward lightly and allow everyone to get sufficient rest time.
After the test of the previous period of marching with heavy loads, the current physical condition of everyone in the team is basically obvious. The worst among them is Miss Liu, then Hong Tao, and then sisters Eileen, Old Gale, Jim, Pavilion and
Boss Liu is on the same level, Ignatius, Austin and Harrison are invincible.
In this way, the team can be arranged easily. Miss Liu and Hong Tao must be separated. Which team these two losers should be placed in will definitely give the guide leading the team a headache. So in the end, Hong Tao was assigned to Old Gale, Pawei,
Irene, in Harrison's group, and Liu
Father and daughter, Katie and Jim, Austin and Ignatius formed the second group. As for which team suffered a little bit and set off hunting first in the afternoon, it was decided by drawing lots. In the end, Hong Tao relied on his excellent luck.
Got the short bone that represents a loss.
So everyone in the first group he represented immediately got into gear, threw away all the useless things on their bodies, and set off with only guns and ammunition, a first-aid kit, a small amount of food and water, communication equipment and a small sled, and of course
There were Harrison's four hunting dogs. They also had a feast of deer meat with their owner, and they ate more than the humans. Almost half of the deer's body was killed by them. (To be continued, please search for Piaotian Literature and Novels.
